It has a brushed metal look. Go here to see the web site.

We have white cabinets in our house up north. After 10 years the ones opposite the windows turned a slight yellow tinge from the sun.

The next photos are of our rental home where we painted the pink cabinets gray, replaced the granite, and did a new back splash.

It looks very nice! From the picture I could not get some details, like :
Did you expand the kitchen into the breakfast area?
I am not retired yet and remodeling the kitchen is one of my goals because I looooove to cook (and taking pictures of all) and plan to have dine/wine with friends at our place a lot.
I grew up with tiles on the kitchen floor, but it does look nice in hardwood. Congratulations.

Looks lovely! What model home is that? I thought it was a Gardenia/Camelia, because of the pillars, but kitchen has stove and refrig in different location, and there seems to be a window to the right of the slider in the livng room, that we don't have. Perhaps it is an older version? Ours was bulit in 2013.

We are getting ready to change our laminate counter tops to granite. Several quotes and many hours of reading posts here regarding fabricators, and we haven't decided yet who to use! LOL Who did you use for your granite?

Thanks!

The model is a Gardenia that was expanded 4 feet through the middle of the home, so their was room to add the island and the extra cabinets into the kitchen dining area. In those pictures, the island looks a lighter color then the rest of the cabinets, but it really isn't. In person they all look the same. The floor is an engineered hardwood. That expansion also changed the configuration of the laundry room and I did the same cabinets in there with a pantry and vanity type sink and overhead cabinets.

In both homes the granite was done by Duncan Stone in Tavares. And if I was doing another home with granite, I would use them again. That entire kitchen has only one seam in the granite and that is because the piece between the refrigerator and the end of the dining area was 12 feet and the slabs come in 10 foot lengths.

White cabinets were "in" during the 90s. Went out of fashion and are now "in" again. The white cabinets in TV are thermafoil. I would research them before deciding. We had them years ago and they do peel from heat and do yellow as previously posted. They may have been improved over the years.
